George Santos Is 'unrepentant' As He Faces Years In Prison For Fraud, Prosecutors Say

Disgraced former U.S. Rep. George Santos "remains unrepentant" as he faces years in federal prison for fraud and identity theft, federal prosecutors say, citing a tirade of his social media posts in recent days.

Prosecutors, in a legal filing Thursday , bolstered their arguments for a stiff sentence, saying the 36-year-old New York Republican has disparaged the U.S. Department of Justice as a "cabal of pedophiles" and cast himself as a victim of prosecutorial overreach in multiple posts on the social platform X.

"This conduct is antithetical to the 'genuine remorse' claimed by Santos's attorneys," prosecutors wrote. "His actions speak louder than any words, and they cry out for a significant carceral sentence in this case."

Lawyers for Santos didn't immediately respond to an email seeking comment.

The social media blitz started April 4 after prosecutors and Santos' lawyers submitted their sentencing memos to a judge for consideration during his April 25 sentencing in Long Island federal court.
